3 Weeks Old

Lucy is 3 weeks old today.  She went to the doctor last Wednesday for her 2 week check up.  She was up to 9 lbs 2 oz (80%) and 21 inches long (80%).  She is eating great and sleeping pretty good as well.  She will usually give me a good 5 hour stretch in the night.  The rest of the day, she eats every 2-3 hours.  

She doesn't quite know what to do with herself when she is awake.  She doesn't like her bouncy seats, swing, bed, changing table or "gym mat thingy".  She just wants to be held.  And now she wants you to walk around with her.  You can't just sit still.  I guess she is getting a little spoiled and unwilling to be forgotten as the third child.  

She sleeps like a little froggy all curled up on her belly.  We tried to swaddle her and lay her on her back.  But, she would wake up 2 seconds after we laid her down.  So, we gave the belly a try and she sleeps much better.  She is also starting to get attached to her paci already.  

Oliver likes to check on "WOO-see" and say "WOO-see KIE-ing (crying)" or "WOO-see SEEping  shhhhhh"

Lucy joined us for storytime one night.  It didn't last very long, because, remember... she doesn't like to be laid down.

Last weekend, we headed to Roanoke for a family reunion.  So, Lucy got to meet some more family.  My MeeMaw and CO.

My new sister-in-law, Kanon and my brother.  

And my Popeye and Aunt Phyllis.  She also got to meet a whole bunch more family at the reunion.  But, we didn't take any pictures.  

Lucy spent her first week in our bed, her second week in the pack-in-play next to us and now she has been booted out to her own room.  I think she likes it though.  

And Madeline likes to get in the picture with Lucy anytime she can.  And in case you were wondering who Lucy looks like, she looks exactly like Madeline did as a baby.  I will have to post some comparison pictures soon.  Anyways, happy 3 week birthday, Lucy!
